Top Three Things a Journalism Student Should Know

At :journalistopia journalist-blogger Danny Sanchez is writing (and asking for professional advice) on the question:

"What are the top three things a freshman journalism student should do or know to be a competitive job candidate three years from now?"

Sanchez will be giving a talk on the subject at a Florida j-school, and he is asking for suggestions from readers. One response I liked:

"Treat everything you produce as a piece of professional public work, whether it’s text or photos or a video you post on YouTube. Your Web presence is an important part of your portfolio. You will be Googled."

There are more worthwhile suggestions in his comments section. Check them out.
